Netherlands-based LyondellBasell intends to close its 105,000 barrels-per-day refinery in Berre, France, following an unsuccessful attempt to sell it.
The petrochemical assets at the refinery include a steam cracker and global-scale polypropylene and polyethylene plants owned and operated by LyondellBasell subsidiary Compagnie Petrochimique de Berre.
The closure will not affect depot operations or the petrochemical plants and third-party facilities at Berre, the company said.
